Orpheus (role-playing game)

|
Orpheus is a role playing game by White Wolf Game Studio, set in a microcosm of the World of Darkness. Unlike the other Word of Darkness game lines, Orpheus had a specifically planned metaplot and a set number of books to be published.
Characters in Orpheus are either living individuals capable of astral projection or ghosts of the recently deceased. It is assumed that characters work for the Orpheus Corporation, a company that employs the talents of "projectors" to clear haunted houses and perform other tasks difficult for those without access to the world of the dead.
There are six books total in the Orpheus series that expand on the series through roleplaying. They are, in chronological order:
- Orpheus
- Crusade of Ashes
- Shades of Gray
- Shadow Games
- The Orphan-Grinders
- End Game
There is also a fiction compilation involving characters from the main Orpheus plotline, Haunting the DeadTemplate:Game-stub
